COMMENTS FOR ALL ALLOYS:

Material is produced in the As Rolled" condition. Springs are manufactured via the Hot Wound
procedure, quenched and tempered. Each spring is checked for Rockwell Hardness to insure
the proper temper is achieved. Temper hardness should range between HRC 41 and HRC 49.
If the hardness exceeds HRC 49, brittle properties could be produced, increasing failure possibilities.
Bar lengths in general range from 40 to 45.
HRC 41 = 187,000 psi tensile
HRC 49 = 253,000 psi tensile
Note: Virtually all Hot Rolled Alloy Bar stocked by Suhm is turned and polished.

These data are provided as a reference guide only and are not intended for design purposes. Strength
values and sizes are subject to change. Please check with a Suhm Spring representative for confirmation.

COMMENTS:
Material is produced in the Cold Rolled / Annealed condition. After coiling springs should be aged to the H 900
condition. Bars with hardness value of HRC 44 will have estimated tensile of 200 KSI. As a general rule, bar
lengths are 12 feet long. Some sizes are available up to 20 feet in length.
Check with a Suhm representative to verify lengths.

These data are provided as a reference guide only and are not intended for design purposes. Strength
values and sizes are subject to change. Please check with a Suhm Spring representative for confirmation.

COMMENTS:
Material is produced in either the solution annealed or solution annealed/aged condition. This specification only
requires that minimum strength values be met. If necessary check with a Suhm representative to obtain actual
capabilities for tensile and yield. Aging time and temperatures are extensive (20 Hrs. @ 1300F) to produce the
required strengths.
Bar lengths in general will average 12 to 14; however, Suhm maintains a stocking arrangement to
have available 10 - 20 lengths on some sizes. Some sizes are available in lengths up to 35'. Check with a Suhm
representative to verify sizes and lengths.

These data are provided as a reference guide only and are not intended for design purposes. Strength

COMMENTS:
Material is produced in the Cold Rolled / Annealed condition. After coiling springs should be aged to the H 900
condition. Bars with hardness value of HRC 44 will have estimated tensile of 200 KSI. As a general rule, bar
lengths are 12 feet long. Some sizes are available up to 20 feet in length.
Check with a Suhm representative to verify lengths.

COMMENTS:
There is currently not a standard/specification which covers tensile/yield strength values for spring tempered
wire. Tensile strengths should be comparable to Inconel X750; however, please check with a Suhm
representative for actual strength values.
Larger sizes can be obtained in the spring tempered condition. Check with a Suhm representative for further
information.

COMMENTS:
There is currently not a standard/specification which covers tensile/yield strength values for spring tempered
wire. Tensile strength should be comparable to Inconel X750, however please check with a Suhm representative
for actual strength values.
Larger sizes can be attained in the spring tempered conditions. Also bar stock is available in the solution
annealed/aged condition. Check with a Suhm representative for further information.

These data are provided as a reference guide only and are not intended for design purposes. Strength
values and sizes are subject to change. Please check with a Suhm Spring representative for confirmation.

COMMENTS:
Material is produced in the As Rolled condition. Springs produced from wire size diameters are "Cold Wound"
and Tempered. Springs produced from bar size diameters are "Hot Wound", quenched, and tempered. Each Hot
Wound spring is hardness checked to insure proper hardness. Tempered hardness should range between 41Rc
and 49Rc . Bar lengths range from 15 to 19.
HRC 41 = 187,000 psi tensile
HRC 49 = 253,000 psi tensile

These data are provided as a reference guide only and are not intended for design purposes. Strength
values and sizes are subject to change. Please check with a Suhm Spring representative for confirmation.
